Quadruplets by the sea (1)

Spending a day in the sand and sunshine at Manhattan Beach, New York's three-year-old Zarief quadruplets ignore their pails and shovels and think up new ways to get into mischief. Ellen (left) turns her back on the cameraman; Elaine (center) plays with a sand toy, keeping her eye on the bathers; Brother Bennett, too, looks at the ocean longingly, bored with his picture book; and Isadora (background), determined to go swimming, removes her clothes.
